One more question, if you wanted to mate up one of these to a F20, what fly and clutch do you have to use?

F20 wouldn't fit as it's a Big Block box and the Z18XE is a Smallblock...

do the engine internals not need to be messed with for 10 psi? for the compression ratio?
whats the manifold, is it from a different engine or an aftermarket?

Have to log in 
Im offering a Turbo conversion for anyone with a Z18XE Engine
You will see gains in power to 200-220bhp with 200lbft+
Conversion will cost £2900 No offers
Serious people only, NO time wasters
If you want to know why it costs so much, well:
All componets are high end, not cheap eBay crap....
What it will include
Uprated Injectors 330cc
Front Mounter Intercooler
Balieys DV26 Dump Valve
Custom Pipe work
Induction Filter
Custom Full exhaust system make by Longlife/Powerspeed (£700+ it costs!)
Turbo back 2.1/4" or 2.5" system with their LIFE TIME garrantee (choice any back box Tip you want)
Turbo - T28 Turbo Techics, Will run 8-10psi
Cast Manifold
Braided Oil feed pipe to turbo
Oil return into sump
Mocal Remote Oil filter
Manual Boost Controller
Remapped ECU
Oil and Filter changed
Note:
Exhaust will not be MOT Legal, To have a sports Cat fitted it will cost £150 extra
Id 100% recommend a Oil cooler, Which will cost £115 extra (for a mocal item)
Boost Gauge inc Single pod fitted with back light will cost £60 extra (more if different design wanted)
All work is carried out to the highest standards - you will not be disapointed!
If you think it expensive, dont comment
A normal turbo remap would cost you in exess of £480, exhaust system would cost £700.... costs add up quickly

I would love it, but the sensible half of my brain reminds me that that is a hell of a chunk of wedge to invest into a near on worthless (IMO) 15 year old Vauxhall Corsa... 
May as well sell mine, buy an Astra Turbo and faff with that. Which is what I am intending to to.
